Abstract
This paper discusses how in terms of ideologies, actions, and goals that exist, or should exist in order for the anti-globalization movement to develop into a successful global social movement, there is general agreement that there must be a greater emphasis on social and political issues such as gender equality, and economic issues such as product music and entertainment product copyright protection. The paper further discusses that these are only two of a multitude of important issues that need to be addressed, but they reflect the anti-globalization movement's fundamental goal of protecting the social, political, and economic rights of individuals, groups, and societies as globalization expands. For example, globalization has presented many challenges and opportunities for the transnational women's movement.

From the Paper
"Until rather recently, globalization was a term that few people had ever heard, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank were merely among the welter of international agencies that cluttered newspaper reportage and which most newspaper readers ignored as obscure and technical, of interest only to specialists. In recent years however, globalization has become a flash-point issue in international politics. Trade negotiations and conferences of the IMF and World Bank are regularly accompanied ... "

Abstract
The paper focuses on the evolution of punk and its mutation into the more politically charged anarcho-punk movement and explores the violent side of the extreme left - both as an international force and in particular in Switzerland. The paper then discusses the Bern-based Antifa Switzerland group and explores the motivations of the Black Bloc anarchists. The paper highlights the use of violence in the anti-fascist movement and the connection between today's violent anarcho-punks with the ideals of the original punk movement. Several photographs are included with the paper.

Introduction
Punk's First Wave
Punk Arrives in Switzerland
Switzerland, Anarcho-Punk, and Post-war Politics in the 21st Century
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The media, however, interpreted the punks' image, music, and reckless behavior as a real threat to the status quo. This culminated in December of 1976 when the Sex Pistols and members of the Bromley Contingent appeared on the Bill Grundy television show in England. At the time of this momentous event, punk was still in its early stages. The public-at-large had little way of knowing about punk at the time. What they saw was a group of extravagantly dressed young people, visibly intoxicated, who took relish in using offensive words and insulting the host of the program in a manner that went way beyond the accepted morals of the time. The Bill Grundy episode would spiral the fledgling youth subculture into the wider cultural spotlight. At that point, punk was no longer a tiny subculture, but a mass media spectacle that would shock the conservative British public and inspire similar-minded youth all over the world."

Abstract
This paper examines the often violent and coercive tactics of anti-abortion movements, looks at some of the more famous anti-abortion leaders, explores the motivations of these leaders and the movements that follow them, and discusses the perception by many that the anti-abortion movement is just one part of a broader, more conservative, anti-feminist, political agenda.
From the Paper
"Both the pro-life and anti-abortion movements are motivated by one concept: that human personhood begins at conception. To these groups an embryo and a fetus are all human persons who should be granted the same rights, privileges and protections as a child or adult (Violence & harassment at U.S. abortion clinics). Operation Rescue is an anti-abortion organization that states that it is dedicated to the protection of children in the womb and their mothers who are exploited by abortion. The group declares that ?We work in every way we can to manifest the truth of God concerning abortion? (Operation Rescue Colorado). Unfortunately, ?every way we can? includes violence, murder and the misuse of religion to inspire what any moral individual could only interpret as unholy acts."

Abstract
This paper describes the beginnings, the leaders and the motivations behind the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s. The paper also takes a look at how much the anti-war movement actually affected U.S. action in the Vietnam War and what lessons were learned from the protest.
From the Paper
"The beginning of the Anti-War Movement can be found in the Free Speech Movement that had already taken hold at universities across the nation. At Berkeley, Mario Savio, having taught lessons on freedom in McComb, Mississippi in what was to become known as Freedom Summer, began the movement. Involved in the Civil Rights Movement, Savio saw a correlation of the oppression of blacks in the South, the war in Vietnam, and free dissemination of information on university campuses. Savio believed that students were entitled, under the First Amendment, to practice Free Speech on their campuses."

Abstract
This paper questions whether the anti-war sentiment in the US shortened the Vietnam War. The author contends that protesters succeeded in creating a certain consciousness of war activities within the American public. It is argued that the public had only begun to question the war once it was apparent that it had continued for many years, and that there was some feeling that once committed, America could not withdraw without achieving victory. By analyzing the government's reaction to several anti-war incidences in US, the paper argues the government did not have a deep understanding of the anti-war sentiment. Therefore, the anti-war movement could not have impacted the war to such an extent as to shorten it.
From the Paper
"Vietnam was a situation that seemed to develop slowly in the consciousness of the American public so that much of the country seemed to discover rather suddenly that the nation was enmeshed in a growing war to which there seemed no end. In truth, America had been involved in Vietnam for many years before the issue became the catalyst for social protest and political reprisals in the U.S., and for much of that time the public ignored what was taking place. American involvement actually started in 1954, and at that time it was the French who had been caught in the Vietnamese quagmire (Chafe 259). Full American involvement was contemplated prior to 1954 and rejected, in part because Eisenhower did not believe that a military victory was possible because of the political situation in the region, since the people supported the Viet Minh and identified Ho Chi Minh as the leader of their independence movement (Scheer 274-275)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The concept of Rousseau of a natural man as a symbol of pre-civilized innocence and seeing him as an untutored savage is difficult to understand. This was also not taken as a look at other cultures, as the innocent savage of Rousseau is a part of the European mentality and not a person from the other unknown nations of Africa and America. There have also been other images similar to it like the famous cartoon by James Gillray which showed some unknowns enjoying a meal of dismembered aristocrats. (19th century AD)"

Abstract
The paper provides a brief overview of the movement against the Iraq War as it has manifested itself in the U.S. since 2003. The paper looks at mainstream media coverage of public rallies, focusing on a report in the Los Angeles Times and a report from Reuters. The paper discusses the ANSWER media savvy organizing group that is rarely noted in mainstream media coverage of public rallies but which has a large role in sponsoring them. The paper thus shows how a mainstream news source omits small pieces of information that can have a significant effect on the interpretation of the news story.
From the Paper
"The first protests against the Iraq War actually began just prior to the onset of the war itself, at a time when it was becoming clear that the military preparations and intensified propaganda leading up to the invasion had passed a point of no return. In March of 2003, mass protests in both the United States and Britain, denominated the "World Says No to War" protests, attracted approximately 500,000 marchers nationwide. Since then the movement has had its ups and downs, but generally been able to sponsor large turnouts near the anniversary dates of the invasion (March of each year.) Many have commentated that this level of organization and turnout is remarkable given the lack of a military draft, which in past times (notably the Vietnam war) has substantially enlivened anti-war movements (Garfinkle.)"

From the Paper
"In the early 20th century, lung cancer was rare, but the disease rose from obscurity by the 1930s (Meyer, 1992, p. 72). This was because people began smoking cigarettes in large numbers Indeed, during this time, cigarettes and their accoutrements were associated with glamour, sophistication, and mystery. The appeal of smoking was mirrored in popular culture by the use of trendy ashtrays, ashstands, and lighters (Parente, 1992, p. 30-33). In the 1950s, medical research claiming harmful effects from tobacco had not been proven yet, and the tobacco industry turned to hiring public relations firms to further convince the American public of the merits of smoking (Miller, 1992, p.1).
Today, things are different. Smoking, once associated with glamour and sophistication, is now associated with cancer and heart disease. In addition, medical research has shown that.."

From the Paper
"During most of America?s history war has been glorified. Whether for political or economic reasons, the government has presented the option of war as real and necessary for the survival of the union. However, the attitude of embracing war has not necessarily been the typical one. In each of America's conflicts, large segments of the population have been critical of the war effort, and even larger numbers have been apathetic.
After World War II and the Atomic Age, though, the attitude toward warfare changed. No longer was one government simply stating that it had the power or might to destroy another government. The stakes had jumped to even higher levels - mankind was now capable of destroying all of mankind.
Some scholars have commented that the voices of those who protested America?s involvement in war, ?sometimes muted but often ... "

Negative Effects of Economic Globalization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Classical Theory holds that an open market for goods and factors of production (labor, capital and nature) will produce the best possible decision affecting growth technologies, distribution of income and the satisfaction of needs. however it is stated that "Most economists today recognize that the market system in the real world produces some undesirable effects - such as the increasing unequal distribution of wealth and power, the domination of markets by the largest producers, pollution and over exploitation of natural resources." (Panos, 2004) The classical theory in economics does not appear to function properly to the new economists."

Globalization and the United States, 2004.
This paper discusses that globalization is a good thing, since it has increased international trade; but environmentalists, trade unionists, and anti-poverty demonstrators argue that globalization creates more problems than it solves.

Abstract
This paper explains that opponents to globalization claim the gains made by Western counties due to increased international trade have been at the expense of poorer countries. This paper states that globalization?s export of jobs away from the United States has led to employment insecurity for many Americans, especially manual workers, since companies have been establishing production lines overseas where they can take advantage of low-wage economies. The paper relates that globalization has spawned a sort of ?international Americanism?, which threatens the national identities and cultures of smaller and weaker economies.
From the Paper
"Since the 1970s workers have become more protectionist, and have tended to blame the international economy for the poor labor market for less-skilled workers over the last 30 years. According to these researchers, two-thirds of Americans think that international trade has been a main cause of U.S. living standards, and 30% of Americans believe globalization is the primary cause of slow wage growth. Furthermore, 56% of Americans believe that the increased disparity between rich and poor in America is due to the growth of international trade. Less-educated workers are more likely than highly educated workers to think that globalization has increased inequality in the United States."

Abstract
This paper examines how global economic forces enable sections of third world society to be more easily exploited. It investigates how the first world does not play on a level playing field by using the Multi-Fibre Agreement. The views of protesters, the World Bank, and others are reviewed. The paper ends by touching upon future developments, such as the impact of China becoming a full member of the World Trade Organization.
From the Paper
"During the past three decades, remarkable internationalisation of the world economy has taken place. This process has become known as globalisation. Globalisation can be defined as "The increasing integration of national economies into expanding international markets" (Todaro: 1997). Neo-liberal authors and institutions, such as the IMF, state that globalisation is driven by four main factors; free market ideology; technological breakthroughs in communication; the shifting of economic activity to the developing world; and the opening up of previously closed borders. These factors of globalisation have inevitably led to changes in conditions of labour in third world employment. Here we will look at what the changes have been. We will then examine the views taken on these conditions by 'anti-sweatshop' campaigners, and the response of the International Labour Organisation and the World Bank."
